America Cringes at This Supremely Awkward Obama Carney Hug

Look, it’s fine for bros to Hug It Out, but the Obama-Carney bro-hug, at the end of the press conference wherein Jay Carney announced his imminent departure from the White House, looks less like a brotherly man-embrace and more like two men trying to slap the emotions out of each other.

One person had more emotions than the other person. One person wasn’t expecting a hug and didn’t know how to deal with the emotions.

Can you guess which person is which?
